Full Blast Of The Summer Months I

Well here we are, just in the middle of summer and our heat index is off the roof. Hot, hot! hot! But gallivanting must go on ;-).

Keet has been on her summer vacation for almost a month now and she's enjoying every minute of it. Her school ended last June 4. After picking her up and having our lunch, we went to the movie to watch The Pirates of the Caribbean-At World's End. As usual we enjoyed the movie a lot, especially so with this movie (we've been waiting and waiting for this to come out), as Hugbun's favorite Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones is in the movie playing Jack Sparrow's father Captain Teague. We were so tickled with his cameo role especially we heard behind the scenes stories about him while making this movie.

Anyway, Keet has a new layered hairdo this summer. She wanted her hair auburn so I dyed her hair auburn! The new hairdo and color really looks good on her.
Finally, the wrought iron porch furnitures that Keet and I repainted are finished. I even re-upholstered the chairs and I'm so pleased with the result.

Mom Is Moving Out

Mom ( mother in-law ) is going back to live in NY sometime this September. She made a down payment for an apartment while she was in NY a couple of months ago ( while we're in the Philippines ). Her apartment would just be 10 minutes ride from Paul's family (hugbun's brother), so we don't have to worry about her that much. We're planning to do the musical room again ( Hugbun's term - as we just finished remodelling/decorating the attic for our room, Keet is using our old bedroom and Keet's bedroom into the music room ). We're going to move back down to the main floor and into our old bedroom and move Keet to where Mom is using. The funny thing is I'm really looking forward redecorating the rooms. I guess Hugbun is not looking forward in moving furniture again ;-).

Today is another scorcher day. The temperature outside is 88 Fahrenheit! I always tell Hugbun that our summer here is hotter than in the Philippines. Anyway, Keet and I have no intention in going out today with this heat.

Summer in Maryland, note those spiny creatures behind us...they're called horseshoe crab.
